| | rantnrave:// From the SUPER BOWL to the OLYMPICS to the NBA finals, sports rules the roost in TV programming. But nothing lasts forever, and as the cable ecosystem faces challenges and viewers demand more and more personalization, what must the leagues and the networks do to keep their winning streak alive? Independent contributor TAL SHACHAR explores in new REDEF SportsORIGINAL: "Ball in Its Court: How Sports Media Needs to Evolve"... When I was a child I went to summer camp. CAMP WINAUKEE. My awesome Mom always sent me goodie packages. I loved getting packages. I think that's why I like AMAZON PRIME so much. Besides the obvious stuff like candy (GUMMY BEARS and CHARLESTON CHEWS) she used to send me MAD LIBS. I loved filling them out. I want to collaborate with pals JON FAVREAU and JON LOVETT on a TRUMP speech Mad Lib book. Essentially, just names and adjectives. No facts or substance... Surround yourself with the complementary and smarter or fail. Lots of people are smart. Few are organized. Few can deliver. Hiring is hard... We announced a cool partnership with ESPN. A sample of the daily SportsREDEF is now featured on ESPN.com. We're big fans of the brand and admire the people that work there. No stories quite like sports stories. We're honored to be there. Thanks to JOHN SKIPPER, JOHN KOSNER, CHAD MILLMAN and Co... MARK ZUCKERBERG has penned a 6,000 word "manifesto" on the future. Some think it's about the world at large. Some think it's the blueprint for the social network taking responsibility for its influence. Others see a darker side. We take a look at the opinions... Despite all the killing, MINNIE'S HABERDASHERY in THE HATEFUL EIGHT looks really cozy. I'd take the cot or the chair in front of the fire... I hear this too much from biz leaders lately: "I know it's terrible but it will probably be good for business." Let ye mofos be judged... I really want to meet FLOYD ABRAMS. Who can intro?... The GENIUS integration into SPOTIFY. Yes! Lyrics and annotation. Well done!... Friends doing well. Congrats to CHARLIE CORWIN and MICHAEL PAULL... Happy Birthday to DAN PRIMACK, ALBIE HECHT, OSMAN RASHID, NOAH BRIER and JIM FRIEDLICH. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |
